Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heart-shaped sprinkles
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined.
Fold in the sprinkles in the shape of a heart.
In a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F.
Scoop the batter into a piping bag or ziplock bag with a snipped corner.
Pipe the batter into the hot oil, keeping the donuts small.
Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.
In a microwave or double boiler, melt the semisweet chocolate chips.
Dip the donut tops in the melted chocolate and top with additional heart-shaped sprinkles.
Before serving, allow the chocolate to set.
